The purpose of Amendment No. 1 was to amend information included in Item 10 of Part III of Form 10-K to report the subsequent resignation of James M. Schneider from our audit committee on August 8, 2011, as reported in our Form 8-K filed on August 8, 2011.
The purpose of this Amendment is to file the documents listed as exhibits to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 filing which were inadvertently omitted from the Amendment No. 1 filing. This Amendment includes Amendment No. 1 in its entirety.
Except as expressly stated in this Amendment, this Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and the Company has not updated the disclosure contained in the Amendment to reflect events that have occurred since the filing of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment must be read in conjunction with the Company's other filings, if any, made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, including Amendment No. 1 and other amendments to those filings, if any.

Identification
As of December 31, 2010, our board consisted of eight director positions, divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms.

Our executive officers generally are appointed at our board's first meeting after each annual meeting of shareholders and serve at the discretion of the board.

The board, when considering whether directors have the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills, taken as a whole, to enable the board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company's business and structure, focused primarily on each person's background and experience. We believe that the Company's directors have backgrounds that, when combined, provide us with a board equipped to direct
us through an ever challenging course in the segments of the telecommunication business in which we are involved. Attributes of members of our board include experience in entrepreneurial, cable service, telecommunication, technological and financial aspects of companies similar to, as well as much larger than, us.
In particular, our board considered important the following regarding its members. With regard to Mr. Brett, our board considered his telecommunications and cable experience, as well as his over 40 year experience as a corporate lawyer. With regards to Messrs. Fisher and Glasgow, our board considered the broad backgrounds of these individuals in finance and their operational experience with cable companies. With regards to Messrs. Edgerton and Mooney, our board considered the extensive experience and expertise of these individuals in business development in the telecommunications industry. Our board also considered the broad perspective brought by Mr. Kroloff's experience in operating diverse businesses throughout Alaska as well as his experience as a lawyer. With regard to Mr. Schneider, our board considered his significant financial and accounting experience including his time spent as Chief Financial Officer of a large public company.
Our board also considered the many years of experience with the Company represented by Mr. Duncan, our President and Chief Executive Officer. He has been with the Company since he co-founded it.
Many of our directors, including Messrs. Edgerton, Glasgow, Kroloff, Mooney and Schneider, were initially proposed for nomination by (or, in the case of Mr. Kroloff, through a request from Mr. Duncan to) holders of significant amounts of Company shares. Our board has retained each of these directors, even after the shareholders have exited the Company or no longer have retained a right to nominate a director, due to the valued expertise our board feels they provide as members.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
During 2010, four of our executive officers (Messrs. Duncan (also a director), Lowber, Behnke and Chapados) inadvertently failed to file with the SEC, in each case, a Form 4 (Change in Beneficial Ownership Report) on a timely basis as required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. That is, they failed to file respective Forms 4 on the due date of February 8, 2010, but all of the filings were made by February 16, 2010.
Also during 2010, one or our executive officers (Ms. Tarbath) inadvertently failed to file with the SEC a Form 4 on a timely basis. That is, she failed to file the form on February 19, 2010, but the filing was made by March 8, 2010. Furthermore, during 2010, three of the executive officers at the time (Messrs. Hughes and Chapados, and Ms. Dana Tindall (who is now deceased)) failed to file with the SEC in each case a Form 4 on a timely basis. That is, in each case the individual failed to file the form on April 1, 2010, but all of the filings were later made by May 6, 2010. Another two of our executive officers (Messrs. Cary and Pearce) and one of our directors (Mr. Schneider) each inadvertently failed to file with the SEC a Form 4 on a timely basis. That is, Mr. Cary failed to file the form on December 10, 2010 (but the filing was later made by December 22, 2010), Mr. Pearce failed to file the form on March 31, 2009 (but the filing was later made by January 27, 2010), and Mr. Schneider failed to file the form on December 30, 2010 (but the filing was later made by January 4, 2011).
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics ("Ethics Code"), was adopted by our board in 2003. It applies to all of our officers, directors and employees. The Ethics Code takes as its basis a set of business principles adopted by our board several years ago. It also builds upon the basic requirements for a code of ethics as required by federal securities law and rules adopted by the SEC.
Through our Ethics Code, we reaffirm our course of business conduct and ethics as based upon key values and characteristics and through adherence to a clear code of ethical conduct. Our Ethics Code promotes honest and ethical conduct, including ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships of our employees. It also promotes full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in our reports and documents filed with, or submitted to, the SEC and other public communications made by us. Our Ethics Code further promotes compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, internal reporting of violations of the code to appropriate persons as identified in the code and accountability for adherence to the code.
A copy of our Ethics Code is displayed on our Internet website at www.gci.com (click on "About GCI," then click on "For Investors," and then click on "Code of Business Conduct and Ethics").
No Change in Nominating Procedure
There were no changes made during 2010 to the procedure by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
We were, as of December 31, 2010, involved in several administrative and civil action matters primarily related to our telecommunications markets in Alaska and the remaining 49 states and other regulatory matters. These actions are discussed in more detail elsewhere in this report. See "Part I – Item 3 – Legal Proceedings." However, as of that date, our board was unaware of any legal proceedings in which one or more of our directors, officers, affiliates or owners of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any associates of the previously listed persons were parties adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries.
In December 2010, Mr. Schneider settled charges brought against him by the SEC for actions that allegedly took place when he was the chief financial officer at Dell, Inc. Mr. Schneider is no longer employed by Dell, Inc.. He settled the charges and consented to the issuance of an SEC administrative order without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, with limited exceptions. The limited exceptions are acknowledgment of the SEC's jurisdiction over Mr. Schneider and the subject matter of the SEC proceedings brought against him, and the SEC findings with respect to litigation involving that company and certain of its senior executive officers including Mr. Schneider. The court in that litigation entered an order permanently enjoining Mr. Schneider, by consent, from future violations of specified provisions of federal securities law. Mr.
Schneider agreed to pay, as specified in the court's order, $3 million as a civil money penalty and $83,096 in disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, as well as $38,640 in prejudgment interest. In the settlement with the SEC, Mr. Schneider has further consented to his suspension from appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant for at least five years, after which time he may request reinstatement by application to the SEC. As of December 31, 2010, Mr. Schneider was making payments in accordance with the terms of the court order. As a result of the order, Mr. Schneider is prohibited from serving as a member of the audit committee. Accordingly, Mr. Schneider resigned from his position on the audit committee of our board effective as of August 8, 2011.
Audit Committee, Audit Committee Financial Expert
We have a board audit committee ("Audit Committee") comprised of several members of our board, i.e., Messrs. Schneider (Chair), Mooney, and Glasgow.
Our Audit Committee is governed by, and carries out its responsibilities under, an Audit Committee Charter, as adopted and amended from time to time by our board ("Audit Committee Charter"). The charter sets forth the purpose of the Audit Committee and its membership prerequisites and operating principles. It also requires our Audit Committee to select our independent, registered, public accounting firm to provide for us accounting and audit services ("External Accountant") and sets forth other primary responsibilities. A copy of our Audit Committee Charter is available to our shareholders on our Internet website: www.gci.com (click on "About GCI," then click on "For Investors," and then click on "Audit Committee Charter").
The Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards require that at least one member of our Audit Committee must have past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or comparable experience or background which results in the individual's "financial sophistication." This financial sophistication may derive from the person being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities.
Our board believes that Messrs. Glasgow, Mooney and Schneider, are audit committee financial experts ("Audit Committee Financial Experts") and also meet the Nasdaq requirements for financial sophistication. Our board further believes these individuals are each an independent director as the term is defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market corporate listing standards (to which the Company is subject), i.e., an individual other than one of our executive officers or employees or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of our board would interfere in carrying out the responsibilities of a director ("Independent Director").
Under the SEC's rules, an Audit Committee Financial Expert is defined as a person who has all of the following attributes:
·
|
Understanding of GAAP and financial statements.
|
·
|
Ability to assess the general application of GAAP in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves.
|
·
|
Experience in preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities.
|
·
|
Understanding of internal control over financial reporting.
|
·
|
Understanding of audit committee functions.
|
The Audit Committee Charter specifies how one may determine whether a person has acquired the attributes of an Audit Committee Financial Expert. They are one or more of the following:
·
|
Education and experience as a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant or auditor or experience in one or more positions that involved the performance of similar functions.
|
·
|
Experience actively supervising a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person performing similar functions.
|
·
|
Experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements.
|
·
|
Other relevant experience.
|
Our Audit Committee acts on behalf of our board and generally carries out specific duties including the following, all of which are described in detail in our Audit Committee Charter:
·
|
Principal Accountant Selection, Qualification – Is directly responsible for appointment, compensation, retention, oversight, qualifications and independence of our External Accountant.
